The photographs try to confront the spectator between the importance of ‘being’ and not just ‘existing’, to reflect in those actions that turn the individual insensitive and as part of a society used to its own routines.

These images seek to remove the inner consciousness and resurrect “the human being with a voice and sight, with the ability to hear and thus, one who possesses a criteria.”
